antifa··on Photino: A lighter Electron
Which gives it all the compatibility issues of each platform.
antifa··on Ask HN: Changing my mind about JavaScript
And have great discoverability when fully integrated into an IDE.
antifa··on Security and privacy risks of public JavaScript CDNs
> But it feels wild me to me to say that the cross-site caching wasn't worth anything.

The vibe isn't the issue, the implemented solution just didn't work.

antifa··on Security and privacy risks of public JavaScript CDNs
> This is not how modern browsers work anymore, and the phrasing makes think it isn't a rhetorical statement?

It's in response to the "you should totally direct link your jQuery from this CDN" propaganda.

> That's kind of the whole point; they didn't think the website was slow. They didn't think anything. The website opened and then they went on using it. You do understand this, right?

The marketing pitch included "faster".

antifa··on Security and privacy risks of public JavaScript CDNs
Regarding the alleged performance benefits of using a public CDN: if there ever was a cache hit because a user visited one site then yours that coincidentally used the same CDN and query version (pro tip: never happened), and in a short enough time to not suffer a cache eviction, the user did not notice.

When the CDN was slow, every user noticed and thought your website was slow.

You gave away free analytics and made your website worse, there wasn't even a trade off.

antifa··on Verisign under fire for increasing .com prices each and every year it can
Squatters get bulk discounts. This is a missile strike straight to the bottom half of the economy. Squatters and big business owners will shake this off like a rounding error. VCs will hand over $10k to squatters for whatever wacky mispelled 3-10 letter word is available. Learners and entrepreneurs will dig through the scraps with their one-more-cut of inflation.
antifa··on Apple is America's semiconductor problem
> customers weren't asking for

they definitely were asking for longer battery life and cooling systems less noisy than a fighter jet, but the supply side of the market was a desert filled with minefields and duds until the M1.

antifa··on It's Sounding Like Boeing's Starliner May Have Failed
> he just happened to start successful business

*buy pre-existing companies

antifa··on Microjs
I wish there was a website like this for typescript.
antifa··on An experiment in UI density created with Svelte
Font too small? Just ctrl +. Raw data with huge padding is inaccessible to literally everyone who's trying to do work (the intelligence framing of the other user was stupid) and it's meant to look pretty, not be accessible. If you're genuinely concerned about accessibility, the computing world is a never ending world of inaccessibility, but this ain't it.
antifa··on Why Adventure Games Suck (1989)
I like civ5, but think it's a bad multiplayer game for this reason.
antifa··on Why Adventure Games Suck (1989)
My biggest problem with FF7 is that sephiroth never pays rent and Mr Cloud never has to use the bathroom.
antifa··on Why Adventure Games Suck (1989)
I liked Hugo's house of horrors 1, 2, and 3 back in the day, but probably wouldn't play a modern version of it in this day and age. LLMs would be an interesting technology for the genre however.
antifa··on New Programming Languages of 2024
Can't see any results in Firefox for Android
antifa··on Warsaw came close to never being rebuilt (2015)
Some say Stalin is still watching, even to this day, just standing outside the window, watching.
antifa··on Alexa is in millions of households and Amazon is losing billions
> But can you tell it "play me a song that lasts longer than 5 minutes"?

I don't think even pre-LLM technology allows you to do this.

I can't do something as basic as goto Spotify's search page and filter "only genres I like", neither a smart version of that filter or a manual version of that filter is possible.

antifa··on Secure Boot is broken on 200 models from 5 big device makers
And by "vulnerable version" they mean the version before they added ads to the boot screen.
antifa··on Node.js adds experimental support for TypeScript
Teaser has a mangle props feature. The mangle props by exact name or pattern has worked for me, but it might affect library objects or browser built-ins that I definitely don't want it to, but I've not gotten the mangle all props of this object version of it to work.
antifa··on AI paid for by Ads – the GPT-4o mini inflection point
How would you accomplish this without every website asking for phone number and photo ID?
antifa··on Against choosing your political allegiances based on who is "pro-crypto"
Not just completely worthless, but net negative value on society.
antifa··on Codestral Mamba
Maybe not this model, but checkout TabbyML for offline/selfhostws LLMs in vscode.
antifa··on Show HN: Resurrecting a dead Dune RTS game
Dawn of War is a good example of an RTS that deviates from the genetic ore mining paradigm.
antifa··on Firefox for Android no longer shows full URL
Also hasn't supported keyboard shortcuts...
antifa··on Solving the Worst Problem in Programming Education: Windows
Weird, if true, but far from the implied cyberterrorism.
antifa··on Solving the Worst Problem in Programming Education: Windows
I see annoying political messages all the time, there's an ocean sized gap between virtue signaling and cyberterrorism.
antifa··on The economics of a Postgres free tier
Then don't offer support for bottom tier customers.
antifa··on Low salary likely to cause exodus of European tech talent
I remember that vibe before 911, I remember every year there was a notable invention/increment in technology, and about after the 2008 housing crises, the vibe ended or was noticeably being phased out, now every year google/smartphones/gaming/climate/cost of living/politics gets worse (dark patterns, SEO spam, DLCs microtransactions, etc.).

Most people in the US who aren't old enough to own a home have watched home ownership evaporate away from them as costs skyrocket and rent-seeking corporations snipe all affordable stock with can only offers.

The US is a depressing place that kind of sucks if you're not coming here for a high-end tech job or as a rich celebrity.

antifa··on Python with Braces
> today's wide-screen monitors on desktop, line length is less of a worry

did you buy a large monitor just to full-screen a single text file?

antifa··on Starcraft (A History in Two Acts)
I think it's also the age of blizzard and the era of computing. Certain dark patterns common today weren't possible in that era, so games had more soul, and for most people Blizzard had already sacrificed it's soul to WoW before SC2 was announced.
antifa··on Twilio confirms data breach after hackers leak 33M Authy user phone numbers
Facebook regularly shows me "posted 2 hrs ago" posts with comments from 22hrs ago. Lemmy changes the "posted X ago" timestamp when somebody edits their own post. Everyone seems to do something annoying with timestamp.
